The village was named after the Stolkertsijver plantation, also known as Courcabo. The plantation was founded around 1670 by Charles Godeffroy.[2] The plantation was abandoned in 1827.[3]

The Surinamese Interior War started in Stolkertsijver on 22 July 1986 at around 03:00. 12 soldiers guarding the checkpoint were captured.[4] Later it was confirmed that the soldiers had been captured by the Jungle Commando headed by Ronnie Brunswijk. The National Army responded by destroying the temple in Moengotapoe, and capturing all males present.[5] Moengotape was the current home of Brunswijk.[4] On 29 November 1986, Moiwana, the birthplace of Brunswijk, was the scene of the 1986 Moiwana massacre where 35 people, mostly women and children were killed by the National Army.[6]

gollark: Google has a thing called "SafetyNet" which allows apps to refuse to run on unlocked devices. You might think "well, surely you could just patch apps to not check, or make a fake SafetyNet always say yes". And this does work in some cases, but SafetyNet also uploads lots of data about your device to Google servers and has *them* run some proprietary ineffable checks on it and give a cryptographically signed attestation saying "yes, this is an Approved™ device" or "no, it is not", which the app's backend can check regardless of what your device does.
